Oh meh, gonna have to rethink StP in the top 8...

Any suggestions on a replacement?

I was struggling so much that I had DirT and their smurf in my top 8..lol - just seems to really be thinning out - anyone would think it was a dying game...

The strongest guilds atm: now, dp, rawr, kmd.

If they dont face each other early in SE thats my top 4, no order btw. My darkhorse pick is shat, i think they play rawr build only since their reform, and it is still the strongest build with wich you can kinda counter all the others there when played properly ~

#1 rawr
Wurms isn't in the rotation, permanent American servers rule out any euros beating them 8v8 and there's no other American guilds that are anywhere near good enough to pull it off.

#2 BOSS
Best spike guild in the game, not great at other stuff, but in this rotation they should be able to get away with it, will lose to rawr cause of American servers.

#3 KMD
We haven't really been able to find a suitable build yet, also lost some coordination due to a roster change, I think we'll still get 3rd or 5th depending on when we face rawr.

#4 dP
Provided they don't get GeAr'd again, solid euro guild but is vulnerable to splits and bad ping. I don't see them beating BOSS on druid's isle should they both make it that far.

#5 StP
They always seem to be #5, solid guild but are too honorable to be a real contender, also have some weak spots on their roster.

#6 Shat
They've picked up rawr build this month and play it better than any other euro guild from what I've seen, however splitting isn't exactly their strength so I expect them to not make it past the Quarterfinals (Frozen Isle).

#7 DirT
Play the dual ranger build quite well, not great at splitting though and I haven't seen any other builds from them.

#8 BadV
This is more of a filler, I haven't seen much of sup lately but despite all their roster changes the past few months they seem to be one of the better contenders for top 8.

Swing and miss:
Holz
Their monthly roster shakeup happened a week earlier than planned (it usually doesn't happen till after the monthly), I wonder who Samy's 'seven dwarves' will be this month, top 8 seems hardly realistic however, even top 16 isn't a given.

zero
Their recent performance is pathetic at best, if they (Tommy and Daemon) realise that they probably shouldn't play terrible bars (BLight Monk, Illusion Mesmer, etc.) in a monthly, top 16 should be possible.

nH
Somehow people expect them to do well, what I've seen from them so far makes me wonder why. Outside of farming bad Americans and beating StP all I've seen them do was lose to 'decent' Euros and low ranked rawr spikes.

SiN/QQ
From what I've seen they only play dual rangers and a lot of people play it better than them, without sup guests even top 16 isn't a given.

I hope we can finally get some decent skill changes next month so maybe March's monthly won't be completely terrible. :/

No need to take them out of top 8 cause of their match against [OG].

That game was purely lost due to mistakes of two defensive characters, hardly something they will do in an MAT, keep StP in your predictions.

EDIT: Wow just realized that sentence was terrible. My bad. Fixed.

Most Appreciated ^^

Hmmm what happened to [mad]? Coloring book just not playing this month or has there performance really dropped that much that nobody is even considering them.
Hmm... might reconsider some of my predictions now.

True, we will make worse mistakes. It will be a struggle to get brozen tbh.

It's now a blood spike guild.

1. rawr. Who else?
2. BadV. Tournament tested euro players who are playing well right now
3. KMD. They always seem to make at least top 8.
4. dp. Consistently do well in the MAT.
5. nH. I'm gambling on them because many euro guilds haven't faced them. From what I've seen, they are very vulnerable to splits.
6. StP. Another solid team with lots of tournament experience.
7. BOSS.
8. zero. Another gamble. With the lineup they had last month, I would say they're a definite top 8 - but recent personnel losses raise questions.

1st - Rebel Rising [rawr]
2nd - Dangerous Pumpkins [dP]
3rd - Straight Outta Kamadan [KMD]
4th - Survival Rate [zero]
5th - I Disposable Heroes I [DirT
6th - No Honor [nH]
7th - On Ne Plaisant Pas Avec Patrons [BOSS]
8th - Steel Phoenix [StP]

Div · Feb 21, 2009, 07:48 AM // 07:48

1. rawr - it'd be stupid not to pick them
2. KMD - it really depends on when they fight rawr. Could be 3rd or 5th as well, or maybe even 9th.
3. dP - very solid guild with strong 8v8 power. Their ability to beat a team in the split situation would determine how far they get.
4. BoSS- They'll manage to gimmick their way into the top 8 (or possibly even top 4), but then pick the wrong gimmick and lose.
5. BadV- sup v.7.0 should be a good top 8 contender.
6. StP - another solid guild just like dP, and should do pretty well again.
Shat/DirT/Holz/nH are good contenders for top 8

Jensy · Feb 21, 2009, 08:55 AM // 08:55

Shouldn't I still be able to make my predictions?
For some reason the Save Predictions link went away.

Predictions are to be made at least 1 hour before the start I think.
